In December 2016, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources was appointed as the NDA to the GCF. The proposal includes activities that will allow the NDA to: i) strengthen national capacities; ii) support stakeholder engagement in consultation and policy development processes; and iii) mobilise private sector in national consultations and financing mechanisms. The proposed project will increase the capacity of the NDA and other national stakeholders to carry out its climate change focused programs in partnership with the GCF and pave the way for structured and active participation of the private sector to achieve national climate goals.
